"As part of our NatureBridge trip, I usually take my students to the Yosemite Cemetery at night and show them the graves of Florence and James Hutchings, pioneers who were instrumental in making it possible for visitors to have a place to stay while they were here. "I talk about the brilliant act of Congress back in 1864 that set aside Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees for the benefit of the American people. "To think that right now my students and the visiting public are locked out of these special places as a result of the government shutdown—it’s mind boggling to me. How do I explain this to my students?" —Greg Bostrom, teacher, A.E. Wright Middle School #WhyCongressWhy #KeepParksOpen
